Bahrain to Saudi Commute - Visa Implications

22 years ago
Hello Everyone,

I am gaining employment in Dhahran but am choosing to reside in Bahrain and commute daily across the causeway. What are the visa/residency requirements in Bahrain for this if I have all the necessary visas/work permits for Saudi Arabia? I do not want to have my passport stamped with 8 stamps each day.

Does an IQAMA get me a vehicle log book that gets stamped as opposed to my passport? I am a Canadian citizen if that information is relevant to this question.

I would appreciate hearing from any other individuals that are doing the same thing to gain their insight. I would also appreciate hearing from any Canadians working in Saudi Arabia for the purpose of finding out more about the "non-resident" tax filing.

I can be reached at [email protected].

Thanks for all your assistance.
